Alstom is the trusted partner to deliver integrated monorail systems customised for every operational need with 40 years of experience in Monorail design, build and operation.
Fast and cost-effective to build
Pre-cast sections of guideway are constructed offsite to allow for exceptionally rapid assembly on location and monorails require shorter platforms and stations, resulting in reduced cost of civil construction.
Seamless integration with buildings and structures
Monorails are ideally suited to dense urban areas, able to operate with a sharp curve radius and steep grades (up to 6%) and running on a light infrastructure and a slim and light guideway structure.
